Key West Historic District (Old Town)
Ghosts & Gravestones is presented by Historic Tours of America, the same company behind Old Town Trolley Tours and related branded attractions in multiple U.S. cities. In Key West, the brand runs one core ticketed product, the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour, a 1-hour trolley tour departing from the Conch Tour Train Depot at Front and Duval Streets. The tour is guided by a costumed 'Ghost Host' character aboard what the operator calls the Trolley of the Doomed, moving through Old Town's narrow streets with a stop inside the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum.
Old Town Trolley Tours of Key West, a related but distinct general sightseeing product from the same parent company, also offers a combined day-and-night package bundling standard trolley sightseeing with the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour.

The operator's own page frames Captain Tony's Saloon as holding more spirits than what's stored in its bottles, and describes St. Paul's Church, founded by some of Key West's earliest families, as holding its own secrets. The Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum stop centers on the operator's account of 'Daddy Long Legs' and a cursed silver bar recovered from a 1656 shipwreck. The tour's own marketing separately promises tales of a mischievous doll named Robert — the well-known Key West doll on public display at the Fort East Martello Museum — though the operator's page does not state the trolley physically stops at that museum.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what the tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history.
